Liturgically we celebrate all the beauty, goodness and joy of human life as we commemorate the Last Supper. Then the altar is stripped, and we relive the losses, the sorrows, the injustices that plague humanity. It is not until the last night, as we keep silent vigil, that a deeper dimension of reality begins to appear, dimly at first. A single flame shines in the night. That Light is shared and Life begins to reveal Itself. We are given eyes to see, ears to hear, as Love manifests Itself before us, beside us, within us. We sing exultantly of the glory of the Divine, we commit to live in communion with each other.
The Paschal Mystery reveals the “more” that we often fail to see. In the Light of Christ, we can see more fully, our sense of life is more spacious. Our blindnesses are healed, obstacles to loving others that once seemed insurmountable are rolled away. On this day we commemorate and celebrate grace being called forth from the depths of our beings, resurrecting in us. Now we know, in the Biblical sense, Divinity dwelling with in us, incarnate in our flesh, as we go forth to love and to serve the world.
